How many watts do these 8 in speakers handle
29862
100 watts. I am using a 60 watt per channel unit which is plenty of power to fire up these jewels !!

I don't know but the Micca website will tell you or you can call them. I can tell you that they sound fantastic and the no reason to spend 3x this much on similar sounding ones.

Not sure. I use them for rear speakers for my surround sound. I have a denon receiver and they work fine.

Rating is 100 watts. I use them as surrounds on a 100 wpc receiver and drive it hard. They take it in stride. These are quite good; certainly one of the better values in ceiling speakers. I have four in my theater room, and I have two more in my bath / dressing area for music. They sound great!

I don't know the answers to either question . . . I bought these to replace two others I had that had become 'discolored' from exposure to the elements . . . I am driving them with a Sony mobile amp , 100 watts per channel . . . my other speakers are Sony marine speakers imbedded in the cockpit . . . these were the exact size I needed . . . they look graet & play better than the speakers I replaced . . . they handle the Sony power well . . . looked up data / 50 rms -100 peak at 8 ohm . . . black are 26+/white are 36+

Most people say around 300 watts each, I went with 600 watts each and positively love them. The wattage is needed to get the mids and woofers to work properly. If you power them right and run them full range a sub is really not needed. Remember most recievers are rated two channels driven, so an external amp is a must. These speakers sound good with 90 watts, they sound like a completely different speaker with 300 watts, they go from good to great.

I believe they are 125 watts. My receiver is 15 yrs. Old and supplies 100 watts per channel and it sounds bad ass!! As long as theyre not over powered so theres no risk of blowing them is what I would go by.. I also have the cv center channel and it makes a big difference when watching movies. Not so much for music(center channel speaker that is)

Though i'm not absolutely sure i "think" they're about 600 watts rms.. These things really do BANG!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPPOINTED!! I bought one of mine used & it's now 5 yrs old & still works great!!

15 Watts per channel....very good speakers, plenty loud and clear. Makes me want to upgrade my sound card now. I use them for music mainly, but some gaming too.

They are very efficient speakers and thus do not require a lot of power to drive them. However, they can handle higher power and perform excellent when you feed them 100 plus watts per channel. I have a denon 3313 which is rated as 125/ch.

Yes they are better. I have 800 watts rms pushing them and its just one speaker.

I'm Not Real Sure. I found something on line that says 400 watts peak power and 300 watts maximum output power. I'm not real electronic minded I still think they sound great after having them awhile. just remember they are huge and the little booklet that comes with them recommends placing them another foot from the wall so these big bi-otches can breathe. sometimes I wish the highs would be little louder. A guy I work with keeps telling me I should have went with some klipsh speakers but he's also a hatin' a hole. Hope that helped. I still love them. I listen to everything from country to dub step and everything in between and haven't stumped them yet. I'm Not Real Sure.

I have sold the house I put these in but they are great sounding speakers . I suggest you verify via Yamaha website if the rated wattage is a concern. I am putting Yamaha in at the new house but a different style due to mounting arrangment

Just like you would any other speaker. The 1000 watts is probably the total output from all speakers. I currently have a 750 watt system and have no problems whatsoever. These are great sounding and looking.

Using two 16 ohm would be the same as using four 8 ohm. You would be getting about 30 watts of power to the speakers. That is not much!

I believe these are 120 watts rms and 500 watts peak each, hope that helps. Note that even at 120 watts you will want the bass turned down a bit. These speakers ratings are not tested throughout the entire frequency range. 500 watts going through these speakers at a very low frequency would blow them apart.

I personally am running two of these speakers off of an 800watt pioneer amp and they pound really great!

I would say about 150 Watts RMS. You really need some nice clean power to drive these speakers. I would highly advise to Bi-amp your speakers: meaning get an external amp in addition to your Receiver's amp.

They can take 120 watts straight out. I haven't pushed them pass that level.

They are truly heavyweights when it comes to this style speaker. I would say 8.
